La Belle Dam

Words: Hibrida Longhair
Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
Source: Standing Song Stone Book

My lady has gold vinyl slippers
Over her sheer panty hose.
She closes her gown with a zipper
And neatly darts all of her clothes.

Chorus
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my lady to me, to me,
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my lady to me.

My lady wears long Saxon hair braids,
She fastens them with rubber bands
O leaves it loose like a pure young maid's
Though her period demands well-bound strands.

Chorus

My lady's laced so tight she can't breathe,
She leans back because she can't sit,
If she sneezes she'll loosen her Velcro
Exposing more than we'll permit.

Chorus

My lady's no saucer-eyed new-new,
She's been in SCA for years,
But still her old garb she won't re-do,
Though the MoA's prompted to sneers.

Chorus

My lady has double-pierced buttons
To fasten tight both of her sleeves,
Their tops flair out like leg-o-muttons,
The MoA's calling the Reeves.

Chorus

Oh, the Reeves have ejected my lady,
They have no regard for her purse,
Her continued costuming perfidy,
Has taken her from bad to verse.
